It’s August, and for students, it means school time is back. Let’s put aside summer vacations and leisure activities, it’s time to prepare for an effective new school year. Besides an attitude of readiness, a soldier always needs to have his weapons ready, and in this case, they are school supplies. If you are a student (or a parent who is preparing for your kids to go back to school), here are the best back-to-school sales of this season that can get you (or your kids) fully charged for a new school year.
Technology Products
Clearly understanding the importance of technology in education, many brands/retailers of tech products have launched back-to-school sales very early. Although not determining 100% of the student’s learning outcomes, having the help of tech tools is still a huge advantage. Therefore, tech brands/retailers are trying to give students all the support they need.
Apple – one of the most famous tech brands in history – is currently having an Education Discount Program to celebrate this year’s back-to-school season. Owning a product from such a brand has become a lot easier since a lot of interesting offers are included in this program.
If you are a college student, the parent of a college student, or someone who works in education, don’t hesitate to check it out. This education discount program from Apple can help you save at least $50 on Mac and iPad. Moreover, you will also receive a gift card of up to $150 to use when shopping for all the latest Apple accessories.
As a direct competitor to Apple, Samsung definitely doesn’t want to ignore the occasion. For Samsung fans, the brand is also having an Education Offers Program, which brings numerous attractive offers and discounts of up to 20% on Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Tab, etc. As long as you can provide additional verification of your student or educator identity, you will be eligible for these savings.
School Supplies
As mentioned before, a soldier needs to be well-equipped to enter the battlefield, and so does a student when entering a new school year. It requires more than a pen or a notebook to ensure good studying results. This makes back-to-school shopping somewhat more expensive than most people think.
Let me tell you, Amazon knows your worries. And this year, Amazon has come up with a huge back-to-school sale on various products and school supplies, with discounts of up to 80%. From basic school supplies such as pencils or modeling compounds for kids to other advanced supplies for college students, each of them comes with a different discount rate.
Besides, if you’re a nature lover (like us), you should definitely give these eco-friendly school supplies a try. Amazon also has a wide range of eco-friendly products available in this back-to-school sale. This is a good opportunity to educate your kids (or yourself) about the environment while preparing for the upcoming school year.

Study Furniture
Preparing for your (or your kids’) classroom experience is only half the story when it comes to getting ready for a new school year. It’s also vital to have a decent study corner at home if you want to ensure a productive study session. However, shopping for study furniture is somewhat expensive, especially high-quality ones. So, what can we do?
Target has all the answers you need. From the early days of the back-to-school shopping season, Target has launched its College Deals Program. This program offers a lot of interesting deals and discounts on a wide range of products, including study furniture. These discounts may vary by product but can be up to 25% off. This is indeed a deep discount compared to the sky-high price of products of this type.
Food/Snacks
Lunch/snack time is also a part of school time. Snacks give you (or your kids) enough energy to study and participate in school activities effectively. Therefore, it’s also important to prepare all the most delicious, nutritious foods and snacks in advance.
You shouldn’t miss out on this year’s back-to-school sale from Walgreens. With a lot of discounts and offers available, Walgreens can help you take care of your (or your child’s) meals from breakfast to dinner. Depending on the type and quantity of the product, the discounts may vary from around ¢50 to over $2. There are also many buy-one-get-one and free shipping offers available, so you won’t have to sacrifice quality for the sake of your wallet.
Sam’s Club is also launching kind of the same back-to-school sales with an even broader product portfolio. From snacks, fruits, and beverages to even packaged meals, you can literally find anything there, and they are all at amazing discounts. However, some of Sam’s Club’s offers are limited in time, so if you want to get these bargains, you’d better start shopping now.
